“Exactly.” Bianca laughs again. “They did what they could though, even if that was minimal. They had lots of other business to attend to.” She thinks about it for a second. “I’ve been just fantastic! And how about you, Rosie? Things all good on your end?”
“You know? I’ve actually been doing really well. These last few months have been great, I started up my painting again, trying out some photography. Found a very lovely park to take Diana to. Moving back is honestly the healthy restart I needed.”
mundumscribo:
Romulus nods and hums. “Mhm, mhm. I see.” He rubs his chin and appears to be deep in thought. “So it’s like a little café but make it about a weird mermaid-centered currency…” He perks up. “Sounds like an interesting trip!”
“But while also not actually being a currency, just a coffee shop. Yeah it’s very interesting.” She thinks for a moment before checking her phone to remind herself of the date. “If you want, perhaps this weekend we can check it out? I’m not doing much except for some house chores, especially since we’re back in the states. But if you ask me to take you to an Olive Garden also I will refuse.”
mundumscribo:
“I’ll bet! They never cared for such pranks. Sticks in the mud, all of them!” Bianca laughs again. “Oh, I’m sure it’s plenty funny in hindsight though, or we wouldn’t be having this conversation, now would we?”
“Absolutely! Oh well, we grew up to be only the absolute best people anyway with or without them.” To say those nuns would have a heart attack is an understatement. “But I digress, how’ve you been recently?”
mundumscribo:
“Oh, so it’s not actually a lunch place?” Romulus scratches his beard with a finger. “Strange, but I wouldn’t mind trying that sometime. It has an even stranger name. What kind of name is that, anyway? ‘Starbucks.’ Sounds like a fake currency.”
“I mean, it can be, people do often go there during lunch time even if it’s just a coffee shop.” Eve shrugs her shoulders and leans against the armrest of their couch. “It does sound like it could be a fake currency, I have no idea, the mascot is a mermaid too which I found very interesting when it first came out.”
@mundumscribo ( Evelina & Romulus )
“We could kind of do a lunch there, they do serve some sandwiches. I was trying to show him this coffee chain that’s popular called Starbucks. Alvin likes it for their vegan options and I would say it’s not as good as our coffee, but it’s not half bad either.
@mundumscribo ( Rosalie & Bianca )
“Well the nuns didn’t find it very funny, Sister Isabella especially, but that prank was priceless.” She rubs her head. “Though the aftermath wouldn’t say the same.”
@seborga Evelina
"Your favorite of course! I've got some zeppole that I just made yesterday annnd some panettone that was made just this morning!" Walking over to him she sets some of the bags in her hands down, reaching over to wipe some of the flower off of Carlino. "What are you working on here?"

“I still barely understand it myself, and yet I was here for the whole thing.” He chuckles bitterly. “Yeah. I’m thankful, too. I probably would have lost myself somewhere down the line if I were completely alone.”
He continues rocking his feet back and forth to move the swing. “It feels like it’s already been a really long time,” he says. “Hard to believe it’s only been a year. Then again, days kind of… get away from me nowadays. Do you think this is what being immortal’s like? Just sitting and watching the days go by without really noticing?”
“Sounds about right.” Eve hums and moves to place her hands in her lap. “I think so. Given that I’ve got a couple more years on you with this, I’d say it comes and goes. I kinda celebrated my birthday at least the first year, after that I would just get a little treat for myself and spend the night in. Significant days like that as time goes on start to matter less.”
She turns to look at him and offers a hint of a smile. “But, also with the right company sometimes you don’t even think about the fact you’re not aging. It’s almost like... you just feel like you’re existing. But not like in the existential sorta way. At least when I’m having a good day anyway.”
lilli-of-the-mountain:
“Häh? They’re doing it by year?” That surprises Lilli. She always thought if she were lucky enough to find love in another nation, they would change locations seasonally rather than yearly. But this is what works for Alvin and Eve. Who is she to judge?
Lilli opens her closet and starts rifling through her dresses, dismissing most as either too casual or too formal. Anything floor length is certainly out. “Will you be hosting the holidays with your family, then?”
“Yeah, I guess to balance it out with less traveling back and forth. Which honestly I can understand it.” While Rosalie has never dated a nation, splitting a year back and forth wouldn’t be totally off the table. Depending on her significant other.
She goes over to have a seat on Lilli’s bed. Making sure her shoes are off before pulling her legs up to sit crisscross. “Me? Oh, I don’t know actually. I’m sure I’ll be with them but I’m not sure about hosting anything. My place isn’t exactly uh, big enough for that.” And with her father around again she’s certain he’ll want to do stuff together. “Usually I’d spend it with Bianca.”
mundumscribo:
“Fucked.” Alvin keeps his gaze down at his feet as he rocks them back and forth to make the swing move slightly. Eve may be at a loss for words, but he isn’t. He’s had time to mull over the words and process many of the emotions from what happened. He knows words won’t be enough to mend the emotional damage that’s been done, but that doesn’t mean he can’t heal at all. “It’s really fucked.”
He goes quiet for a moment. “I meant it when I said I was glad it went better for you.” He gives her a sad smile. “I wouldn’t wish what happened to me to anybody. Frankly, I dunno where I’d be if it weren’t for Keegan and the people I got to actually keep in my life, like Lilli and Rosie.”
“Things are… finally starting to feel normal again. It’ll never be the way it was before, obviously, but it feels like a new kind of normal. Things are settling into place after months of being confused and upset about what to do next. I just hope that, wherever they are, they’re safe.”
“God you could say that again. I’m sorry, I’ll never fully understand all that you’ve gone through. Along with the others. But... you have my full sympathy. You know I always cared for you guys. I still do.” Eve offers a sad smile back before glancing at the ground by her feet. “Like any bad situation, it’s always good to have a support system. “I’m incredibly glad that you were lucky to have such.”
She nods her head and gives herself a little push on the swing. “That’s good though, I’m really glad. I think for some people it takes even longer, and others fall right into it. But it probably also depends on hot it starts. Of course, not just for us vampires either.”
unfoldedstories:
Walking to the park with Alvin certainly brings in a rush of nostalgia for her. All of them heading here after school and sometimes on the weekends. “Feels like ages ago…” A thought that subconsciously is spoken out loud as Eve heads towards the swings with him. Picking the one on his right and giving herself a little swing.
The quiet of the park and brightness of the moon, what’s left of it, gives the park a gentle feeling to it. “So, I guess I’ll leave it up to you then on where you want to start?”
Almost makes Alvin miss college. He looks at the ground and thinks of what to say to start this. It’s a lot, though there is a good starting place. He takes a deep breath and tells Eve what happened when Jordan went on a camping trip a couple years ago. How she became a werewolf. Then he told her about how vampires don’t seem to tolerate werewolves in the city and how they threatened her in their own apartment.
He tells her how he died—compelled to drink the vampire king’s blood and chased across the city only to end up dead in a pool of his own blood. How Jordan found him after he’d woken up later that night. He skims over the details on what his first few weeks as a vampire were like, but they weren’t pretty. Alvin tells her how they met Kyle, another werewolf, and gave him a place to stay. He told her about the full moon on Halloween last year and how they escaped somehow.
“They were gone by nightfall the next day,” he says. “I woke up that evening, and they were just… gone. JJ left me a note saying they’d be back… “His expression darkens. “But they never came back. Lease on the apartment ran out shortly after, so I stored JJ’s stuff in a storage unit and moved in with Keegan. I searched for them for months, but they’re definitely too far gone by now.”
He closes his eyes. “I’ve been trying to move past it and focus on my life as it is now, but it hasn’t been easy.”
Alvin wasn't kidding when he said it was a lot that she had missed. In fact it was practically a whirlwind of emotions all at once. She certainly makes note of the dispute between vampires and werewolves, hopefully she doesn't run into those vampires. Anyone who has a problem with the other just because of their curse didn't sit right. For a moment as he recounts their prejudice regarding Jordan being a werewolf, she can feel the frustration in her chest.
Once he brings up Halloween last year, her expression softens as her eyes widen with worry. And for a moment there's silence between them as Eve thinks over how to even begin to word what to say. ".... I'm so sorry. I know you weren't exactly alone, but, fuck I'm so sorry you had to go through this on your own." Reactively she reaches to wipe a smear of red from her eyes.
"None of that should have ever gone as badly as it did. That's so..." Eve finds herself truly for once, at a loss for words. What else can she really say? No words will ever be able to truly amend what him and Jordan have been through. And she knows that.
mundumscribo:
Alvin nods and sends Keegan a text that he’ll be a bit late tonight. He puts his phone back into his pocket and walks along with her as they leave the bar. For a moment, his expression is unreadable when Evelina mentions JJ living alone in the apartment.
“Yeah. The park sounds nice.” He puts on his best smile and starts heading there. It almost feels like old times when they get to the park. Like nothing even happened at all. It’s empty this late at night, which Alvin’s thankful for. He heads right for the swings and picks one of them to sit on. A perfect sitting spot. “Feels like we were all here yesterday,” he says wistfully.

“Oh, thank Heavens, I can wear a skirt.” Lilli hardly knows what else in her wardrobe would have fitted such an event otherwise. She has suits but they are all good deal more businesslike than leisurely. Certainly too formal for an artistic environment.
“Come with me, yes? We can talk some more while I change.” Lilli motions for Rosalie to follow her upstairs to her bedroom and motions for her to have a seat at her vanity. “Are Alvin and Evelina still residing in Italy? They have not gone back to the states, have they?”
“Oh yeah absolutely, that’ll be perfectly fine.” In fact Rosalie will most likely do the same. They’re usually far more comfortable for her than dresses anyway. Plus, she always enjoyed mixing and matching the tops. “Okay.”
She goes ahead and falls in line behind Lilli to walk over to her bedroom. “They’re both still in Italy, and in the next coming year they’ll be moving back to the states. I don’t knw when, I assume after they’ve had some time to enjoy New Years.”
